It's the main character's Stand, so I made it a simple, combat-oriented type. It's designed to look like a guardian spirit. The shoulder pads look like Fist of the North Star? The spiral patterns symbolize the Ripple and the concept of infinity.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 8
主人公のスタンドなのでシンプルに戦える戦闘向きなものに。守護神のイメージでデザインしました。肩パッドは『北斗の拳』ぽい?渦巻き模様で無限とか波紋を表現しています。

TranslationTranscript
I gave it a bird-like head, modeled after a phoenix, so the heroes' silhouettes wouldn't look too similar to one another when they're side by side. It's a pretty simple ability, right? The design might be influenced by Enki Bilal's characters.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 12
仲間が並んだ時にシルエットが被らないように、鳥っぽい頭に…不死鳥のイメージ。能力的にはシンプルだね。デザインはエンキ・ビラルのキャラクターに影響を受けているかも。

TranslationTranscript
It's the Stand of the previous part's main character, so I wanted a departure from the humanoid appearance. Ultimately, it got more scenes to show off, but I was trying to make a Stand that wasn't very combat-oriented.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 18
前作の主人公のスタンドなんで、人間的な形からは外そうかなと。結果的に活躍の場も増えていきましたけど、あまり戦闘向きのスタンドにしないでおこうと思って作りましたね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 18

TranslationTranscript
I wanted some color balance between the allies and enemies, so he ended up green. And, Jotaro mentions this too, but green kinda reminds you of melons (laughs). At that time, I was really into green, and a lot of my illustrations were also heavy on the greens!
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 14
敵味方でバランスを見ながら色を割り振って、グリーンに。で、緑なんで承太郎も言ってるけどメロンかなと(笑)。この頃はグリーンに凝ってて、イラストも緑系のものが多い!

TranslationTranscript
I started with some of the less popular tarots for the enemies. The idea came from how annoying it would be if a bug got inside an airplane. But, the meaning of this card is a pretty scary one.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 22
あまり人気の無さそうなタロットをまずは敵として出したんです。発想としては、飛行機の中に虫が飛んでいたら嫌かなと。でもこのカードの意味って、かなり恐ろしいんですよ。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 22

TranslationTranscript
Star Platinum looked like a human, so I made this one European armor plus robot. Contrasting punches with a sword! Both Polnareff and Chariot are fun characters to draw. They're classic-style, and highly mobile.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 16
星の白金(スタープラチナ)が人間っぽかったので、西洋甲冑+ロボ的なデザインに。パンチに対して剣!ポルナレフもチャリオッツも、描いてて楽しいキャラでしたね。動かしやすくて王道的で。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 16
Link to this sectionDark Blue Moon
TranslationTranscript
I just had the simple idea that it would be easy to have a fight against a fish-man in the water. I imagined Stands to be a combination of the inorganic with life energy, so a lot of them appear to be a fusion of living creatures with machines.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 24
海で戦う相手なら半魚人がわかりやすいだろうというシンプルな発想。スタンドは生命力と無機質さを持ちあわせたイメージなので、生物と機械が融合したような姿が多いですね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 24
Link to this sectionStrength
TranslationTranscript
It's a ghost ship. Also, I might have been thinking about the tale of the Mary Celeste, which was found adrift and unmanned. I might have made its host a monkey due to influence from the movie Link.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 26
幽霊船ですね。あと、無人の船がさ迷ってたっていう「メアリー・セレスト号」の伝説のイメージもあったかも。本体を猿にしたのは『リンク』っていう映画の影響だと思います。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 26
Link to this sectionEbony Devil
TranslationTranscript
The idea came from Chucky in Child's Play, among other horror movies. The design of the doll is based on an African shaman. I went with a distinctive, primal design.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 28
発想としては『チャイルド・プレイ』のチャッキー、その他のホラー映画などからです。人形のデザインは、アフリカの呪術人形のイメージですね。独特な、原始的なデザインで。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 28
Link to this sectionYellow Temperance
TranslationTranscript
At first, many of my ideas for enemy Stands came from horror items. You have a fish-man, a mummy, a cursed doll, and so on (laughs). And, this is another one in the horror items series. It's a slime.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 30
最初に幾つか敵スタンドをホラーアイテムで考えていったんですよ。半魚人…ミイラ男…呪いの人形、みたいに(笑)。で、これもホラーアイテムシリーズ。スライムですね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 30
Link to this sectionEmperor
TranslationTranscript
A gun Stand to fight against a sword. I thought it would be novel to have the gun instantly appear in his hand, instead of being drawn from a holster. Its appearance combines the designs of a revolver and an automatic pistol.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 34
剣に対抗して銃のスタンド。ホルスターから抜くのではなく、一瞬で手から出現するのが新しいかなと。見た目はリボルバーとオートマチック拳銃を組み合わせたデザインです。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 34
Link to this sectionHanged Man
TranslationTranscript
Wouldn't it be scary if the reflection in a mirror moved differently from the original person (laughs)? As for the design, it's a mummified man. I added some mechanical elements so it doesn't seem biological.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 32
鏡の中に映ってる人間が、違う動きをしたら怖いじゃないですか(笑)。デザインとしてはミイラ男ですね。それに少しまた機械的な要素を追加して、生物感を消すようにしてます。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 32
Link to this sectionEmpress
TranslationTranscript
Our typical horror item, the human-faced tumor. The design is a modified form of an Indian Buddha statue. In JoJo, you don't need to keep inflating the enemies' strength, so it's easy to add some irregular enemies.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 36
ホラーアイテム系から“人面瘡”ですね。デザインはインドの仏像をアレンジしてます。『ジョジョ』は敵の強さをインフレさせなくていいので、変則的な敵も出しやすいんです。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 36
Link to this sectionWheel of Fortune
TranslationTranscript
You've got a car coming after you, like in Duel or Christine. The Design is a 60's-70's American car remodeled to look like an animal. The Stand's master exists only to make a joke.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 38
『激突!』『クリスティーン』みたいに、車が襲いかかってくる。60~70年代のアメ車を改造して生き物のようなデザインにしてます。本体は完全にギャグのためのキャラでしたね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 38
Link to this sectionJustice
TranslationTranscript
A scary natural phenomenon of the desert, bringing down a verdict of death. It's a great Stand, because you just draw a skull, add some holes, and you're done! Fundamentally, I start drawing without thinking about how the enemies will get defeated, so there's a lot of times where I'm in some trouble because I make them too strong (laughs).
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 40
死の判決を下す、砂漠の怖い自然現象。髑髏って穴を描くだけで成立するからいいよね!基本的に敵の倒し方を考えずに描き始めるので、強くしすぎて困ることも多いんです(笑)。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 40
Link to this sectionLovers
TranslationTranscript
This isn't a tournament fight, so you can have a weak, tiny enemy right after a huge, powerful enemy. I'd say its appearance is something like the robot from Short Circuit, crossed with a tick or a fly.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 42
トーナメント戦じゃないんでね、大きくて強い敵のあとに小さくて弱い敵と戦ってもいい。見た目は『ショート・サーキット』に出てきたロボットにハエとかノミを混ぜたものかな。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 42
Link to this sectionSun
TranslationTranscript
When you have a Stand representing the sun, I think this is really the only option (laughs). I depicted him as a really strong enemy to make you think the fight's going to drag on for several weeks, but it's all a feint and he gets knocked out right away.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 44
「太陽」のスタンドって、もうこういうのしかないかなと(笑)。すごく強そうな敵として描いて、何週も引っ張ると思わせておいてストーリー的なフェイントで、あっさり倒す。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 44
Link to this sectionDeath Thirteen
TranslationTranscript
One way to make a story interesting is the mystery behind trying to find who the enemy is. So, here we have a world within a baby's dream. The Stand's design uses a Venetian carnival mask.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 46
敵の正体を解明していくミステリー要素は作品の面白さのひとつ。…で、これは赤ちゃんの見ていた夢の世界だったと。スタンドデザインはヴェネツィアのカーニバルの仮面です。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 46
Link to this sectionJudgement
TranslationTranscript
The design was influenced by Mr. Shotaro Ishinomori's Kamen Rider and Kikaider. Of course, its ability was based off of the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 48
石ノ森章太郎先生の『仮面ライダー』や『人造人間キカイダー』あたりに影響を受けてるデザインかな。能力のベースはもちろん『アラジンと魔法のランプ』のエピソードから。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 48
Link to this sectionHigh Priestess
TranslationTranscript
This one has a motif of an African shaman's traditional dress. It looks like it's wearing a straw raincoat or something. The host is a woman, but I didn't make her very feminine so it would be more unexpected.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 50
アフリカの呪術的な民族衣装がモチーフですね…ミノとか背負ってるようなイメージ。本体は女性なんですけど、意外性を込めて、あまり女っぽさは出さないようにしました。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 50
Link to this sectionThe Fool
TranslationTranscript
I wanted to add a pet to the team at some point. Whites and blacks are easy to depict in manga, so that's how I chose his breed. The design is a fusion of dog and car. And, because it's sand(man), I added some Native American elements.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 20
いずれチームにペットを入れたいなと思ってたんです。白と黒で漫画的にも表現しやすいからこの犬種。デザインは獣と車の融合。砂(漠)からネイティブ・アメリカン的な要素も。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 20
Link to this sectionGeb
TranslationTranscript
I heard about someone drowning from a cup of water in a wash basin, and thought it would be cool to have someone drown in a desert. N'Doul was based off of Zatoichi. In my mind, Zatoichi is just a scary guy, rather than the hero.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 52
人間は洗面器一杯の水で溺れ死ぬという話を聞いて、砂漠で溺れるのも面白いかと。ンドゥールは座頭市のイメージ。僕の中で座頭市は、ヒーローじゃなくて怖い人なんです(笑)。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 52
Link to this sectionKhnum
TranslationTranscript
Up until this point, I had only been thinking about various ways to attack, like with fire or water, and it was around this point that I wanted to bring in an ability that could add some suspense to the story.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 54
これまでは「水」「火」みたいに、攻撃のバリエーションで考えてたんですけど、このあたりからサスペンス的に、ストーリーの構成に絡んでこれる能力を出そうと思ってました。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 54
Link to this sectionTohth
TranslationTranscript
I thought I could create a cool story by making an enemy with precognitive powers. This was around the time I got married. Not that I have precognition, but I was thinking about my own future while I was drawing this Stand.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 56
予知能力が敵なら、面白い話の構成にできそうだなと。…この頃に結婚したんですよね。予知じゃないけど、このスタンドを描きながら、将来の自分のこととか、考えてましたね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 56
Link to this sectionAnubis
TranslationTranscript
When I was drawing the Egypt 9 Glory Gods' Stands, I placed more importance on the story and tricks than the designs. For instance, you have people getting possessed and allies being mind-controlled.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 58
エジプト9栄神のスタンドを描いてたころは、デザインよりもストーリーやトリックが重要になってましたね。心が乗っ取られていく展開とか、味方が操られたりっていうのがね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 58

TranslationTranscript
I do wonder what would happen if a person became a magnet. It was around this time that I was writing about Nikola Tesla in the manuscript to The Lives of Eccentrics, and I was pretty interested in electromagnetism at that time.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 60
人間が電磁石になったらどうなるんだろうってね。ちょうどこの頃「ニコラ・テスラ」の物語の原案(『変人偏屈列伝』)をやってて、電磁気とかに興味があった時期なんですよ。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 60
Link to this sectionSethan
TranslationTranscript
I've turned people into magnets and into kids. Its design comes from the Nazca lines and the opening to the anime Tetsujin 28-go. Seeing that shadow stretch across skyscrapers left a deep impression me.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 62
磁石にしてみたり、子供にしてみたり…ね。デザインとしてはナスカの地上絵と、アニメの『鉄人28号』のOP(オープニング)から。ビルまで影がグンッと伸びていくのがすごく印象深くて。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 62
Link to this sectionOsiris
TranslationTranscript
I wanted to draw a showdown between cheaters. It's a tradition from my first work, Poker Under Arms (laughs). The Stand's visuals are another fusion of an African-style design with mecha elements.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 64
イカサマ勝負を描きたかった…僕の初期の作品『武装ポーカー』からの伝統でね(笑)。スタンドビジュアルは、これもまたアフリカ系の民族デザインにメカ的な要素をプラスして。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 64
Link to this sectionHorus
TranslationTranscript
This one's kinda creepy, looking like just a regular bird skeleton. He's Iggy's enemy in a battle between animals. As you'd expect, an enemy that attacks from the air is pretty strong.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 66
これは、ごく普通の鳥を骨にして、ちょっと不気味にした感じかな。イギーが戦う、動物の対戦相手としてね。空中から襲ってくるというのは、やっぱり強そうですから。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 66
Link to this sectionAtum
TranslationTranscript
Modeled after a military robot. The cool part is how it looks like it's half man and half puppet. It was at this point that I started adding hearts to my designs, which eventually ties into Josuke's Stand.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 68
軍隊ロボットのイメージ。人間のような人形のような、曖昧さに魅力がある。このあたりからハートマークとかデザインに取り入れだして、後の仗助のスタンドにも繋がってます。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 68

TranslationTranscript
A Stand I put in to add some resting time to the story. I really like Kenny G's sax music, so I'm sorry to him for making him a disposable mook.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 76
物語の小休止的に登場させたスタンド。「ケニー・G」ってすごく好きなサックス奏者なんだけど、雑魚扱いになってごめんなさい…。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 76
Link to this sectionCream
TranslationTranscript
A Stand where you eat yourself... I was thinking about nothingness and infinity. The design comes from the god of death and executioners. Like, the guys that decapitated people in medieval France.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 70
自分で自分を飲み込むとか…無や無限という概念を考えたりしてました。デザインは死神であったり、死刑執行人のイメージ。中世フランスの、首を斬る執行人とかですね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 70
Link to this sectionThe World
TranslationTranscript
It's a Stand that I designed as a boss initially, to contrast with Star Platinum's color and other traits. By countering Star Platinum's super speed with time stop, we get a battle between two characters with similar abilities.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 72
色味などが星の白金(スタープラチナ)と対になるように、初期にボスとしてデザインしたスタンドですね。星の白金(スタープラチナ)の超スピードに対して、時を止めて対抗してくるという、同質の能力者対決です。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 72

Diamond is Unbreakable

TranslationTranscript
A Stand that has the ultimate kindness. Star Platinum is kind of blackish, so I gave this one a contrasting color scheme. Josuke has an out-of-date appearance, but he keeps it that way on purpose.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 80
究極の優しさを持ったスタンド。星の白金(スタープラチナ)が黒っぽい感じだったので色味は対照的に。仗助の容姿は、時代的には古臭いものなんですけど、そこをあえてもってくるっていうね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 80

TranslationTranscript
I imagined a deviant lurking in the town. This one's another slime-type. The Stand's design comes from ritual dolls and Jomon-era clay figures. I researched various sources to make it.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 110
町に潜んでいる変質者のイメージ。これもスライム系ですね。スタンドのデザインに関しては、呪術的な人形や土偶なんかの原始的なデザイン、いろいろと見て研究しましたよ。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 110
Link to this sectionThe Hand
TranslationTranscript
It's really strong, with no limit to its powers. If Okuyasu were smart, he'd be unstoppable (laughs). He's impulsive and only sees what's right in front of him, so there are blinkers like you see on a racehorse to block the sides of its eyes and give it a narrow range of vision.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 88
能力としては際限がないのでかなり強い。億泰の頭が良かったら無敵ですね(笑)。直情型で前しか見えないので、競走馬のブリンカーみたいに目の脇を塞いで視界が狭くなってる。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 88
Link to this sectionBad Company
TranslationTranscript
I think the idea for this came from G.I. Joe action figures and the like. Anyway, I wanted to make a Stand unlike any other I'd done before. So, this Stand is an entire army that emerges from a single soul.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 112
『G.I.ジョー』のフィギュアとか、そういうところからの発想だろうね。とにかく、それまでになかったようなスタンドにしようと。軍隊すべてで、ひとつの魂から成るスタンド。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 112
Link to this sectionThe Lock
TranslationTranscript
A suspense story where you're trapped by a psychological attack, in Stand form. This extortion ability puts a lock on your heart. I gradually shrunk the host down so it would be easier to have him interact with Koichi.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 92
精神を責め立ててがんじがらめにする、サスペンスストーリーをスタンドに。ゆすりたかりの能力で心に鍵をかけちゃう。康一君と相対しやすいように、本体はだんだん小さく。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 92
Link to this sectionEchoes ACT1
TranslationTranscript
At first, I made it look like an alien larva. Then, it would gradually grow to adulthood. Anyway, I wanted to draw Koichi's growth, so I designed it knowing it would change forms.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 84
最初はエイリアンの幼生みたいなイメージです。それで、だんだんと成虫になっていく。とにかく康一君の成長を描きたかったので、最初から姿が変わっていく前提で作りました。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 84
Link to this sectionEchoes ACT2
TranslationTranscript
In its second stage, it's grown from a larva to a child. It's hands and feet are like... a raccoon, right? A standing raccoon.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 86
第2段階に成長して“幼虫”から“幼児”になったようなイメージ。手足とかこう…アライグマですかね、立ち上がったアライグマ。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 86
Link to this sectionEchoes ACT3
TranslationTranscript
It's got its own personality, so it's like a friend... It's the image of Koichi made into a Stand. I thought, if you can turn sound into a physical object, you can do that with gravity, too.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 87
人格を持っていて友達のような…康一君がスタンド化したようなイメージ。音を現実化できるなら、重力がそうなってもいいのかなと。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 87
Link to this sectionSurface
TranslationTranscript
Did I ever have one of these dolls on hand? If anything, I was more interested in drawing how tricky its host was. Judging by the screw on its forehead, it might have been based off of the copy robot in Perman.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 94
手元にデッサン人形があったのかな…どちらかというと本体の陰険さのほうを描きたかった。顔のネジとか見ると『パーマン』のコピーロボットのイメージなのかもしれないです。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 94
Link to this sectionLove Deluxe
TranslationTranscript
A horror that's close to you in your daily life. Like Misery, maybe? In shojo comics in the 80s, girls were objects to be longed for, but from the 90s on, there were more stories with strong girls in lead roles.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 96
身近にある日常の恐怖。『ミザリー』とか? 80年代の少女漫画では女の子は憧れの対象だったんですけど、90年代になってからは強い女の子が主役の物語も多くなりましたよね。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 96

TranslationTranscript
It's a cooking Stand, so I gave it a somewhat crazy appearance based off of tomatoes and Italian vegetables. The idea was, how can I create suspense using cooking as the theme?
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 98
料理のスタンドですから、トマトとかイタリアの野菜をイメージして、見た目をちょっとクレイジーな味付けに。料理をテーマに、どういうサスペンスが作れるのかなという発想。

TranslationTranscript
When I saw the dinosaur with a strong headbutt from Kyoryu Daikiko, I thought, I like this guy! Also, the way he's strong despite being small might have been influenced by Freeza from Dragon Ball.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 114
『恐竜大紀行』に出てた、頭突きの強い恐竜を見て「こいつイイな!」と思ってね。あと、体は小さくても強いっていうのは、『DB(ドラゴンボール)』のフリーザの影響もあるかもしれないです。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 114
Link to this sectionAchtung Baby
TranslationTranscript
I made this one to draw a story about Joseph and Josuke, and that's all there is to this Stand. It's a Stand that turns things invisible, so is its physical form invisible as well, or does it just not have one?
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 100
ジョセフと仗助のエピソードを描くために作った、それだけのスタンド。透明にするスタンドなんで、(ヴィジョン)も透明にしちゃってるのか、現象を起こすだけの(ヴィジョン)のないスタンドなのか。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 100
Link to this sectionHeaven's Door
TranslationTranscript
It's an ability that turns people into books, so I figured it didn't need a physical form of its own. For the characters that appear in Part 4, I tried to depict only their interactions with Josuke, without clearly defining whether they were allies or enemies, good or evil.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 90
人を本にするという能力を重視したので、スタンドの(ヴィジョン)は無くてもいいかなと。4部の登場人物は、仗助との関係性だけ描き、あまり敵味方や善悪を明確にしないようにしてます。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 90
Link to this sectionRatt
TranslationTranscript
An idea I came up with because I wanted to draw the suspense of hunting rats. I just wanted to make it look like a tool. It's a bit of a fusion between a retro cannon and bones, to give it a creepy feeling.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 116
ねずみをハンティングするというサスペンスを描きたくて考えた。とにかく道具っぽく描こうと。レトロな大砲に骨のイメージなんかを融合させて、不気味な感じを出してます。

TranslationTranscript
Its design is a worker bee. If you look at its back, there's an abdomen. You've had those times when you're collecting coupons, and you wish you had just one more, right? I combined that with the image of bees collecting honey.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 102
デザイン的には働き蜂。後ろ向くと腹がある。クーポン券とか、「あと1枚あったら…」みたいなことあるじゃないですか。そういうのを、蜂が蜜を集めてくるイメージに重ねてます。
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 102
Link to this sectionKiller Queen
TranslationTranscript
A cat and a skull... It's a simple design, but I really like it. The design of the gloves and belt are nice, too. When you consider a bomb-based ability, you can do just about anything, so it was tough to work with.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 130
猫と髑髏…シンプルなデザインだけど、すごく気に入ってるんですよね。手袋とかベルトの感じも。爆弾の能力はやろうと思えばなんでもできちゃうんで、扱いが難しかったです。

TranslationTranscript
Around this time, everyone was talking about beauty shops and cosmetic surgery, so I thought I'd add an aesthetician. For the appearance, I combined a feminine silhouette with elements of beauty salon equipment and the image of a dentist.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 104
当時、世間でエステとか整形とかが話題になりだしていて、エステティシャンを出そうかなと。見た目は、女性的なシルエットにエステの器具とか歯医者のイメージをプラスして。

TranslationTranscript
Based off of Killer Queen's face, while giving off an aura like nothing in the world can break it... so, it's a tank. The dagger on its forehead represents an assassin, maybe?
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 133
キラークイーンの顔をもとに、どんなことをしても壊れそうにない雰囲気…小さい戦車です。額の剣は暗殺者をイメージしたのかな?

TranslationTranscript
The Stand's name comes from the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. The idea came to me because I thought it would be cool to have a cursed or haunted photo as a Stand.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 126
スタンド名は、ピンク・フロイドの「原子心母(アトムハートマザー)」っていうアルバムタイトルから取ってます。呪いの写真とか心霊写真をスタンドにしたら面白いかなという発想で生まれました。

TranslationTranscript
I envisioned a guardian spirit protecting a young boy. The design might have come from the robots from Mr. Mitsuteru Yokoyama's manga or something like that. That's why it's got the rows of rivets and the mask over its mouth, and stuff.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 118
少年を護ってる守護神のイメージ。デザインは横山光輝先生の漫画に出てくるロボットの雰囲気とか、そのへんかなぁ。口元をマスクで隠してたり、リベットが並んでる感じとか。

TranslationTranscript
I wanted to draw the character of Mikitaka Hazekura. He's a self-styled "space alien", but it's a mystery whether he's that, or a Stand user! Within the worldview of Jojo, aliens are just barely acceptable.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 108
支倉未起隆というキャラを描きたかったんですよ。自称“宇宙人”なんだけど、本当にそうなのかスタンド使いなのか謎! 作品の世界観的に、宇宙人はギリギリの領域ですよね。

A tracking Stand. The way it splits up like a daruma otoshi toy leaves an impression on you, doesn't it? Did I have a thing for net patterns back then? It looks like a 3-D object, even though it's a flat image!
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 106
追跡してくるスタンド。だるま落としのように分裂するのが印象的ですね。この頃から、網目のデザインに凝りだしてるのかな? 平面に描いてるのに立体感が出るんですよね!

The effects that appear when things turn flat is based off of M. C. Escher's art. Drawing his attacks was tough... I had to make sure the drawings joined up with each other just right.

The motif is a piggyback monster. That, plus a touch of horror where you can't turn around. It's more of a supernatural creature than a Stand. Its host is just a pitiable man...

I didn't want to make a Stand that could do anything, so by splitting its abilities up like this, I added a limitation of sorts.

I had the concept of the Egyptian symbol of life, the scarab, and the ladybug is also a beetle. Then, I needed a symbol of peace... so, angel wings or something? It has a slender silhouette, to go along with its host.

The design uses dots to differentiate itself from Kraft Work's lines. Because it stabs things with its saber and deflates them. I think I put more focus on the Stand users themselves rather than their Stands in Part 5.

亀って、そのものが家みたいで。ガメラとか宇宙船みたいでしょ? 甲羅のデザインもジグソーパズルみたいで、そこにちょっと高価な独特の形の鍵をハメこむという発想です。

I was going to draw the lower half of its body, but then I thought, wouldn't it be fine without one? In the end, it came out with an unusual design that worked pretty well. The eyes all over its body are because I thought maybe there was a supernatural creature like that...

Pesci showed up because I wanted to depict a relationship between a leader and his underling. Like, "I've got what it really takes when push comes to shove!" For the ability, I thought it would be cool to fish on dry land. The reel is a skull to symbolize death.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 172
ペッシは、まず兄貴と舎弟の絆みたいなものを描きたくて。「やる時はやる!」みたいな。能力的には、陸で釣りをしたら面白いかなと。死のイメージからリールが髑髏になってます。

This one was also made with a focus on the situation. I thought it would look cool to have a drawing where a guy skates down a road. I gave the host glasses so his face would leave an impression when you caught glimpses of it through his suit.

Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 266
ポコロコを勇気づけてるだけのスタンドなんですよね。別にこいつが、何かをしてくれてるわけじゃない。運気を運んできたりはしないんだけど前向きな気持ちにはさせてくれる。

Their abilities are pretty much the same, but each Stand has a slightly different physical form. The Stands' design comes from the giant anteater, I think. I like how the eyes pop out on this one, too.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 272
能力はほとんど同じなんだけど、ひとりひとり(ヴィジョン)は少し違ってるという。スタンドのデザインはオオアリクイとかのイメージかな。これも目が飛び出してたりしてるのがいいね。

When you think of cowboys, you gotta have lassos. I made that sort of association directly into a Stand. Mountain Tim is one of my favorite characters, even compared to the rest of Part 7.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 264
カウボーイといったら「投げ縄」ですよね。そのイメージをそのままスタンドにしました。マウンテン・ティムというキャラクターは、7部のなかでも気に入ってるキャラですね。

Something like a mascot character... designed with an axolotl in mind. I knew I was going to make it grow, but I haven't really drawn these sorts of cute and fluffy Stands a lot, so it was refreshing to draw.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 252
ウーパールーパーを意識したマスコットキャラ…みたいな。成長させる前提だけど、こういうフワフワしたかわいいスタンドはあまり描いたことがなかったので新鮮に描けました。

Now that ACT1 has grown a little, I added some elements to make it unclear whether it's animal or machine, like a traditional Stand.

ACT1を少し成長させるということで、従来のスタンドっぽく「生物か機械かわからない」という要素を追加しました。

It's grown even more and become even more humanoid. But, its head is still embedded into its body, and its silhouette still isn't fully humanoid.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 255
さらに成長して、より人間っぽい形に。だけどまだ、頭が胴体にめり込んでたりして完全な人型のシルエットにはなってない。

The inside of its curtain-like body is hollow, and its face can move around like the Zaku's mono-eye. Up until 3, it hid behind its host, but this one is battle-ready.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 256
暖簾のような胴体の中は空洞、顔はザクのモノアイみたいに動く。3までは本体の後ろに控えてるだけだったけど戦えるように。

I think I probably got the idea for this Stand's design from a native African artwork. The netting over its host's face acts as sunscreen or insect repellent. It's a piece of knowledge he used to participate in the race.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 274
スタンドデザインは、たぶんアフリカの民芸品かなにかから発想を得ていると思います。本体の顔の網目は、日焼け止めとか虫よけとか、レースに参加するための知恵ですね。

From somewhere in the distance, it launches with infinite range and hoists you up. If it's going to appear from thin air and hoist someone up, I thought it would leave an impact to have winches shooting out of drifting feathers.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 276
どこか遠くから、無限の距離をすっ飛ばして釣り上げる。空中から出現して釣り上げるのなら「漂ってる羽とかからウインチが飛び出す」なんていうのがインパクトあるかなと。

Simply put, it was inspired by Jurassic Park... I guess? With the cunning dinosaurs that hunt in packs, and etc. I thought it fit well with Dio, so I made it his Stand too.

シンプルに『ジュラシック・パーク』からのインスピレーション…かな? ずる賢い恐竜が集団で狩りをしたりね。Dioのスタンドになるので、イメージ的にも合うかと。

A Stand that sprays stuff with a Pshhhhh to let you transform, or something like that (laughs). When you hear the word "spray", shaving cream usually comes to mind, so it became a tool that can be sprayed with a Fshh.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 262
「プシュー」と吹きかけて、変身とかできるスタンド、それだけ(笑)。スプレーといえばシェービングクリームが思い浮かんだので、シューッと吹きかけられる道具になりました。

Turning back time just six seconds... I wonder if most people would even notice? Design-wise, it's a Stand that wraps around the body. It looks like the Major League Training Brace, or maybe some sort of tube-shaped device.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 278
たった6秒だけ時を戻す…意外とみんな気が付かないんじゃないかな? デザイン的には身に纏う系のスタンド。大リーグ養成ギブスみたいな、チューブの器具のイメージかな。

The idea of walking on the rain comes from Catch the Rainbow, by Rainbow. That's why there's a rainbow on the mask. Its appearance is a rainbow version of a hockey mask.

The design comes from Native American wall art and paintings. There are roses on its chest because I thought the mismatch would be cool. I like how its host looks with his long bangs and braids!

ネイティブ・アメリカンの壁画とか民芸品からデザイン。胸のバラはミスマッチ要素で面白いかなと。本体の前髪、編み込みで触覚みたいになっているのがいい感じなんですよ!

When you think about this Stand's concept, it must be that the great tree is the Stand user, and all the phenomena that occur around it are its Stand ability. It has a succession of watchers, and each one of them is named Sugar Mountain.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 282
スタンドの概念で考えると、大木がスタンド使いで、ここ一帯で起きている現象がスタンド能力なんでしょうね。番人は受け継がれていって、みんな名前はシュガー・マウンテン。

The 11 men are Stand users, and they are all possessed by a single Stand. Maybe it's Tatoo 1, Tatoo 2, and so on? I think the appearance comes from a tattoo I once saw somewhere.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 284
11人全員がスタンド使いで、全員にひとつのスタンドが取り憑いてる。タトゥー1、タトゥー2…みたいな? 見た目は、何かで見た刺青のデザインからきてると思います。

A Stand without a physical form. This Stand ability makes objects into something like balloons. Just as it seems, the idea for this came from balloon art. Its host is a black man with sweet tattoos!

これはスタンドの(ヴィジョン)自体はないですね。いろいろ風船みたいにしちゃうスタンド能力。見たままですよ、バルーンアートがネタ元です。本体は、カッコイイ刺青をしている黒人!

A full-body type Stand. Maybe the concept was an impenetrable defense? The idea is the belts stretch out like grounding wires, and redirect all the energy from enemy attacks into the ground.
Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 288
身に纏う系のスタンドです。コンセプトとしては“無敵の防御”かな? アース線のようなベルトが伸びていて、敵からの攻撃エネルギーを、すべて地面に受け流すイメージです。

A Stand where its ability was the main idea. For the design, I think I focused on letting its head have an impact. It feels like a distorted metal mask. I feel like I was picturing plants for the legs... They end in roots.

能力メインのスタンド。デザインとしては、頭部のインパクトを重視してるかな。変形の鉄仮面のような感じ。足元は植物のイメージも入ってる気がします…根っこになってる。

I wanted a silhouette unlike any previous boss, so I made its ears pointed. I designed it after the image of leather being stitched together, like on a baseball. I like how that stitching looks.

There was that submarine game, right? The coordinate grid came from that. The words "chocolate disco" keeps getting repeated in the song Chocolate Disco, so the host doesn't speak any more than necessary, either.

「潜水艦ゲーム」ってありましたよね、座標はあのイメージ。「チョコレイト・ディスコ 」って曲が「チョコレイト・ディスコ」を繰り返す歌詞なので本体も余計なことは喋らない。

The design was created to match up with Josuke's outfit, rather than its ability. Maybe I imagined a sailor's uniform combined with the floatation devices in a lifevest. Its ears have grown a bit longer since it first appeared.

デザイン的には、能力からではなく定助の格好とセットで考えました。水兵の服と救命胴衣の浮き袋みたいなイメージかな。最初の頃に比べて、ちょっと耳が長く伸びたんだよね。

For story reasons, I wanted to make it clear at first glance that it was definitely a Stand and not a human when its helmet came off. That's why I took away its neck and embedded its head into its torso, to give it unusual visuals.
